Jared, moving slowly, touched the liquid, a mouth formed What is wrong, Great king? Jared explained his wound, I think there may be something wrong still, my friend. I need your special skill to investigate, Jared said. You honour me greatly, My King. Please dip your finger into the cup and leave it there. I will explain to your Healer as I work. Jared did so. Now, as part of me travels to the site of the wound through his blood system, I will try to explain. What you see in the goblet is not liquid, though it appears to be. It is millions upon millions of extremely small units.

Jareds Song S- sometimes I dream special dreams. Alisha nodded her hand on her daughters shoulder. I dreamed that he was a snake in his wagon at night, and he was talking to rats riding wolves. I- I was frightened. Jared frowned, rubbing his chin. Druna peeked up at him, I dreamed of you too, just before I found you. You were a big lion with gold on your head.

Wonderful pages filled with the music of Jared's Song each character a single instrument intertwining with the others creating a symphony in words with adventurous passages, delicate movements, funny and sometimes sad melodies, resounding battles, heart stopping moments and dramatic tragedy. Elrek's Rise the third book in the series, is an amazing original story about Jared 'a legend in his own lifetime' and his son Elrek's life and adventures, the characters in the books leap into life before your eyes and are so easy to relate to even if you have not read the first books you will soon feel that the characters are more like members of your own family and you join the story with its unexpected twists and turns taking you by surprise and immersing you in the experience. Extract from book Someone above laughed and said something quite disgusting, and an arrow clanged off of Elrek's breastplate. "I'll take that as a refusal, then." He shouted. He had his standard take his horse away after he'd dismounted, and had four hundred Gold dismount, discard lances, and advance on foot with swords and shields. Elrek then approached the large gates of the castle and placed his hands against them and closed his eyes. This was Jared's trick, only sort of in reverse.

Please Come Off-Book queers the theatrical canon we all grew up with. Kantor critiques the treatment of queer figures and imagines a braver and bolder future that allows queer voices the agency over their own stories. Drawing upon elements of the Aristotelian dramatic structure and the Hero's Journey, Please Come Off-Book is both a love letter to and a scathing critique of American culture and the lenses we choose to see ourselves through.

"[A] novel that best expresses the American spirit." –The Chicago Tribune “If America was a melting pot, Butte seemed to be its boiling point,” observes Morrie Morgan, the itinerant teacher and inveterate charmer who stole readers’ hearts in The Whistling Season. A decade later, he steps off the train and into the copper mining capital of the world in its jittery 1919 heyday. While the riches of “the Richest Hill on Earth” may elude him, once again a colorful cast of local characters seek him out. Before long, Morrie is caught up in the clash between the ironfisted Anaconda Mining Company, radical “outside agitators,” and the beleaguered miners. As tensions build aboveground and below, Morrie finds a unique way to give a voice to those who truly need one, and Ivan Doig proves yet again why he’s reigning king of Western fiction.

From BookTok sensation and New York Times bestselling author Penelope Douglas comes a riveting companion novel to Bully. This is Jared’s story.... Have you ever been so angry that hitting things felt good? Or numb to all emotions? The past few years have been like that for me. Traveling between fury and indifference with no stops in between. Some people hate me for it, while others are scared of me. But none of them can hurt me, because I don't care about anything or anyone. Except Tatum. I love her so much that I hate her. I hate that I can't let her go. We used to be friends, but I found out that I couldn't trust her—or anyone else. So I hurt her. I pushed her away. But I still need her. She centers me. Engaging her, challenging her, pushing her—it’s the one last part of me that feels anything anymore. But then she went and screwed everything up. She left for a year and came back a different girl. Now, when I push, she pushes back...and I’m not sure either one of us will ever be the same.

By any standards, the Kings of Leon are unique. Consisting of three brothers and their first cousin, all surnamed Followill, the quartet from a God-fearing Tennessee background has conquered the music world on their own terms. They have audaciously mixed elements of classic rock with grunge, garage and a very contemporary attitude. The result is music that has found a ready audience between 15 and 50. It has also been used in several significant movie soundtracks, accelerating their rise. Their song- writing skills have earned the admiration of none other than Bob Dylan himself. This first-ever full-length, authoritative biography of the band, by Michael Heatley, traces their rise from local hopefuls to US Hot Modern Rock chart-toppers (singles 'Sex On Fire', 'Use Somebody', and 'Notion' all reached Number 1) with the platinum album Only by the Night. A background and lifestyle that kept them well away from popular music until 1997, when their father sensationally resigned from the church and divorced their mother, has produced some fascinating results. Exposure to the rock'n'roll lifestyle led to crises that have had to be resolved as a band and as individuals, and The Kings of Leon: Sex On Firerecounts them all.

In Cartwheel, Indiana, the strange mingles with the commonplace until bizarre miracles are a part of the everyday, in this quirky and charming novel that celebrates the variety and dignity of human desire.
